KEY GAME INFORMATION

TAMPA BAY: The Tampa Bay Storm have made great strides in the team's rebuilding effort ' a job that will continue to be a work in progress in 2013. Quarterback Stephen Wasil showed promise in his first full season as a starter last year, debuting in grand fashion with a 300-yard passing performance against the Chicago Rush to kick off the 2012 season. He also got the job done on his legs, scoring 19 touchdowns on the ground. While the Storm no doubt appreciate his ability to make plays in the running game, the passing attack will need to improve for Tampa Bay to keep pace in what looks to be a very competitive South Division. Receivers Joe Hills and Michael Lindsey began to build some chemistry with Wasil towards the end of last year, while 2013 acquisitions Greg Ellingson and James Hardy have been brought in to soften the statistical blow of losing the team's two top receivers from a year ago. Defensively, several key players from last season's roster remain unassigned, including Mac linebacker Steve Octavien and defensive backs Deonte Bolden and Lendy Holmes; however, the team did bring back defensive lineman Pernell Phillips, who led the squad with seven sacks in 2012. Joining the team in 2013 is third-year defensive back Rashad Barksdale, who racked up 113.5 tackles in Kansas City last season. He, along with fellow DB acquisitions Bryan Evans and Travis Williams, should help shore up a defensive that ranked last in points allowed in 2012. With very little turnover on the roster, Tampa Bay already has a great deal of familiarity as a team, which may enable the Storm to get off to a quick start in 2013.

SAN ANTONIO: Last year all the pieces fell into place for the Talons. Led by quarterback Aaron Garcia and a dynamic offense, San Antonio bulldozed its way to the top seed in the National Conference. Unfortunately for the Talons, their run came to an early end at the hands of Tommy Grady and the Utah Blaze in the first round of the playoffs. The loss ushered in a rebuilding process for the franchise. The Talons were tasked with replacing Garcia ' who left for the San Jose Sabercats in free agency ' and fixing a defense that ranked near the bottom of the League in 2012. The latter was taken care of very quickly, as San Antonio has added 2012 Riddell Defensive Player of the Year Joe Sykes, as well as fellow defensive lineman Tim McGill and defensive back Andre Jones. Former Orlando Predators defensive back Justin Hannah also joined the squad. The newcomers will mesh with a few standouts from last season's team, including linebackers Jamar Ransom and Victor Degrate and defensive backs Fred Shaw and Chris Crocker. Under the guidance of Head Coach and defensive guru Lee Johnson, it's conceivable that this new and improved lineup could make all the difference in 2013. That is if the offense can hold its own as well. Rookie quarterback GJ Kinne will take over for Garcia behind center. Though he comes to the AFL with an impressive college resume, how quickly he can adjust to the Arena game will be paramount to the Talons postseason hopes. Expect an expanded role for fullback Chad 'Tank' Cook, who will look to get back into All-Arena form by taking some of the pressure off Kinne with a strong running game. Still, it is a passing League and Kinne will need to find some targets. Burl Toler and Robert Quiroga return from last year's squad, taking over for the departed Jason Willis and currently unassigned Jomo Wilson as the team's top receivers. San Antonio also returns veteran Derek Lee and added the elusive Dwayne Eley, Jr., who could prove to be the squad's biggest difference maker. If the Talons offense can build quick chemistry and the defense plays up to its potential, San Antonio could very well be looking at its second division titles in as many seasons.
